Wikies

= Wiki - =

=== A wiki is a way to share data without the hassle of sorting through a jumble of emails and blogs. It allows members to see and edit data in one concise location. In the introduction video I watched, the instructor demonstrated how to use a wiki to coordinate a camping trip between friends. Since my friends and I routinely take camping trips together, I really understood this example. I grow tired of having to shift through twenty five or thirty emails to update our camping lists. Another well known example of a wiki is wikipedia. On wikipedia, people post information about a multitude of topics. If people post incorrect information, someone else can correct the data. Additionally, as things in our world change, the information can easily be updated. ===
